    Looking For Target Rifle Recommendations

    Shooting a .223 target rifle from a bench at 100 yard targets is boooring. Once you get dialed-in the challenge will be how big your one hole is as you put more rounds down range. I wouldn't recommend this, unless you want to try shooting a semi-auto .223 and see how quickly you can hit a can...

    Taurus TX 22 Anyone?

    I have just about worn out a S&W MP .22 (the Original not Compact), and I am looking for a new suppressor host plinker. I don't like the puny child sized .22s. (like the M&P Compact or smaller). Since the full sized S&W MP has been out of production for years now, I am looking for an...

    Excellent Glock Customer Service!

    I wore out a G19. After 30k plus rounds, the spring at the back of the crucifix wore through the plastic causing it the trigger to not reset reliably. I FedExed it to Glock on a Friday, I got a call Monday from a technician that had diagnosed the issue (I thought it was something else). They...

    Those military surplus days. Top 3?

    1. Garand, because I love it that Uncle Sam will mail a semi-auto “assault rifle” straight to my house!! Plus, ‘Merica!! 2. Izmash Saiga AK. These were made on the same production line as the real ones going to Putin’s little green men, so I think they count. Just like lake city 5.56. Best...

    Have suppressor laws changed recently?

    The law didn’t change but they are far easier to obtain. Silencershop.com has made it super easy to buy one, and it gets people into the hobby of stamp collecting. You can pick what you want online and they guide you step by step through the process and have a whole network of transfer dealers...

    Problem with Browning BAR and Federal FUSION 7 Rem. Mag.

    What JMR said, find a load that works and stick to it. In 30.06 a BAR is tuned to Garand loads, no idea for 7mm. Those older semi hunting rifles are finicky and need a specific load. But, don’t worry about the pigs, they are not nearly as picky — they will take what you give them without any...

    Why is the 300wm so popular

    Availability is often the most important ability.

    Ak47 a good idea?

    Ukraine, Serbia, Poland, Bulgaria and plenty of other countries make 7.62x39. But Russia sold it cheapest (possibly subsidized, to put the others out of business). American distributors will be working contacts in those countries to secure supply. It will get sorted out, but it takes time to...

    Smith M&P 22

    The full size was made by Walther but has been discontinued - it’s not the same quality as a SW MP 9. But you might get lucky finding one languishing for sale at some LGS if that’s what you want. The compact is actually made by someone else (probably umarex) but I don’t have one so I won’t...

    7.62x39mm AR-15?

    I have one, never loved it. It’s heavy, aftermarket is limited. Barrel is threaded 15x1. Also the mag well is really really tight, only AK Pmags work reliably. Surplus metal mags get stuck. That being said, it is wonderful suppressed. The AR pistols are where it is at, especially when they...

    7.62x39mm AR-15?

    This is the correct answer! However, the AR lowers that take an Ak banana mag require a special dedicated upper (at least the ones from PSA do) so you are looking at buying a whole rifle. The cheaper option is just using C-products 7.62x39 mags, and using a regular AR lower. Ive used them for...

    Yugo Pap Pistol Red Dot Mount?

    Has anyone mounted a red-dot to a Yugo Pap pistol? I am trying to decide between an Ultimak forward gas block (which I understand gets hot), or drilling and tapping the upper dust cover and adding a rail (which might ruin the current sights). Does anyone have any experience with their option?

    I do the same today, no better way to get Schmutz out of nooks and crannies.

    Anyone collect competition .22 cal. Target rifles?

    I passed up some really nice ones a few months ago at an estate sale. The .22’s went for more than the bigger stablemates, including a couple tricked out Palma rifles. Kinda surprised by that, especially when thousands of match Palma rounds were also available. But, the state of the art has...

    I Should Work for NASA!!!!!!**&$@@#

    When I work with springs, I do so in my powder room with the carpet and other stuff removed, sink drain closed and toilet lid down. That way when they go flying, I’ve only got a few feet of clear floor to explore.

    Best reasonably priced bolt action in .223

    Mass market hunting rifles have come a long long way recently. I was at an auction the other day when a 1980s era custom Palma rifle hit the block. I honestly have no clue if it would be more or less accurate than a $250 close out special TC/savage today. Especially without spending hours or...

    Recommend a Discrete Long Gun Soft Case

    The best discrete cases are found at junk stores, flea markets, pawn shops and those other places that cause your significant other to cringe when you go in. Look hard enough and you will find some old sports bag/equipment case that suits your needs perfectly and is already covered with...

    Home Security Cameras

    They do when your cameras help catch the burglar that robbed your neighbor’s house before he comes back. So many cases are solved by an observant neighbor, or their camera! There are not that many porch pirates, but the ones that are out there are prolific. If you can identify one in your...

    Silencerresearch.com used to be the best ~ 10 years ago. I'm not sure it has been updated since then, but there are still some good nuggets you can't get elsewhere.
